300 acres of privately owned hunting bliss.

i hunt private and public

Same here... 75% public land (National Forest) and 25% private land (overlooking a pasture which butts up against the nat'l forest).

I actually hunt all 4, probably 50% family owned, 25% lease/permission, 25% public.

While on this subject, what would you think would be a reasonable price to pay to lease an area, lets say 100 acres half wooded half farm land?

Not knowing how strong the herd is or what quality the buck are on it. The only deer I see around it look as though they came from a neighboring farm that is posted no hunting.

99% of the time I hunt public land. On a rare occasionsomebody might invite me to hunt private land.

I hunt private land and leased land, about 600 acres that i have permission and another 250 that i dont! all of it is great. I hunt about 300 acrelease as well. a little public here and there

All but lease. I own land, my Dad owns land, my cousins own land. My neighbor lets me hunt his land, my friend owns land, I have permission to hunt nearby farms, and I live next to national forests. You can never have too many possibilities. I just don't lease land because I'd rather find free access. I'm cheap, or broke, or both.

This year it will be all of the above for me, and it'll be a first.
